Cucumber salad

Cucumber salad is a side dish that's fairly simple, but is best prepared at least a few hours in advance. I guess maybe you can even buy it, but I never looked for it.

Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 dL (ca. 0.4 cup) water, boiled
- 1/2 dL (ca. 0.2 cup) sugar
- 1 dL (ca. 0.4 cup) white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper

First the water was boiled and the sugar was dissolved in the warm water.


While the sugar water was cooling, the cucumber was sliced thinly (conveniently done on the tool shown). Juice was allowed to drip from the cucumber slices while stirring vinegar, salt and pepper into the sugar water.

Finally, the cucumber slices were placed in the liquid, the bowl was covered and left in the fridge for a couple of hours (keeps good for at least a couple of days).
